Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks the Lord's cup in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn't discern the Lord's body.

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.

But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait one for another.

But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I don't want you to be ignorant.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God's Spirit says, "Jesus is accursed." No one can say, "Jesus is Lord," but by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
